ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Lazarus 3D, Avatar Medical, and Realize Medical represent the forefront of 3D modeling technologies, from the physical to the digital, offering adopters better surgical planning, diagnostics, and patient engagement.
The practice of medicine has always been a three-dimensional endeavor. Charts and data can effectively quantify all manner of bodily functions and pathologies, and with today’s imaging modalities, physicians can see inside the body and observe the processes that comprise human health. Yet, without the ability to view, hold, and move anatomical structures from any angle, a degree of understanding is missing. Whether via the physical or digital, the three companies below have made it their mission to make medical imaging data more interactive and realistically applicable than ever.
The leaders of Lazarus 3D, Avatar Medical, and Realize Medical all vouch for the benefits promised with advanced 3D modeling, including reduced case time and fewer surprises during operations. With these solutions, surgeons will have confidence in selecting the right-sized interventional device on the first try after practicing virtually, and they will be able to anticipate the complex angles and tissue properties that impact their procedures. Patients, too, can rest easier knowing their surgery was studied, planned, and rehearsed in a personalized manner unique to their case, so every movement of the scalpel is supported by their own individual data. With more granular information available and less subjective interpretation of 2D scans, 3D technologies can level the clinical playing field by offering accurate and useful anatomical maps.
